Applicattbn and May 1s,

The present invention relates to an im- 'lhe object of the invention isto produce a temple roll adapted for use with fine fabrirs which willhave a secure holding capacity, and at the Sametime will not injurefabrics. To this end the invention consists in the tempie rollhereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the preferred form of theinvention, Fi 1 is an elevation of a temple rol1fem-- bodying theinvention;' Fig. 2 is "a section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an-.eleva end elevation of the same.

tion of a modified form of the teinpl'eroll of the present invention;and Fig. g'is an The illustrated embodiments ofthe invention aredescribed as follows: The temple roll"- consists of the usualwooden roll10, provided with the usual teeth 11. The principal part of the surfaceof the temple roll is covered with a layer 12 of cork. This cork layershortens the effective length of the teeth, and itself has sufiicintfrictional resistance to the motion of the cloth for it to operateeffectively to stretch and distend the cloth being woven.

In Figs. 3 and 4'the temple roll is shown as consisting of. the usualwooden roll 13 provided with the cork layer 14. The modified form shownin Figs. 3 and 4 operates upon the cloth solely by reason of thetriotion which is created between the superficial layer of cork and thecloth, whereas in the preferred form there are employed in addition tothe cork layer the usual temple roll teeth, but which teeth projectbeyond the surface of the cork only short distances.

Besides, the outside end 15 of the roll is unprovided with a cork cover,and the teeth of the roll project from this surface the usual distance.This portion of the roll engages the cloth very close to the 'selvuge,and the penetration of the teeth through the selvage portion at thecloth is not injurious to the fabric,-as this portion is usually wastedin any event.

tion covering of cork, and in its narrower aspects the inventioncontemplates, in sfdition td the use of the cork, teeth which projectonly a short distance beyond the surface of the cork. More specificallyyet the invention contemplates a temple 1 0a having a cork frictionsurface and teeth on 'the'outer end of the roll beyond the cork.

The cork .is preferably the finely comminut ed cork dust which iscompressed and heat ed in order to cause the particles to adhere to eachpther. Cement is sometimes used for causing the union of the corkparticles,

,and with others the gum from the cork pan ticles exuding under theinfluence of the heat to which the cork particles under pressure are'subjected, itself unites theparticles together.

The temple roll of this invention is pirticularly adapted for use inweaving silks and fine cloths in which large holes formed by the teethof the temple roll, if of the usual length, would be conspicuous.

new new Having thus described the invention,

what is claimed is:

1. A temple roll hating a body covered with a layer of ork.

2. A temple rol having a body with a layer of cork having teetprojecting slightly beyond the surface of the cork.

3. A temple roll comprising a body and a cork outer layer extending froma point short of the outer end to the inner end of the roll.

4. A temple roll havinga body, a cork layer covering the 'outer surfaceof the roll except at the outer end, said roll beingcoveral providedwith teeth at the outer end beyond the cork. v

5. A temple roll.having a body, a cork covering extending from a pointshort of the outer end to the inner end of the roll and having teethprojecting beyond the surface of the cork a slight distance andprojecting, a greater distance beyond the uncovered body surface.

,In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
